How to choose the best Christmas tree
Choosing the best Christmas tree for your home is an exciting and important decision. Whether you decide to pick an artificial or a real tree, there are some things to keep in mind to find the perfect tree for your space.
Evaluate the size of your space: Before you purchase a tree, it’s important that you consider the size of your space. Make sure you determine how high the ceiling is and the width of the given space. That way, your tree will fit comfortably in the space and you wont have a Griswald family tree situation (a tree through the ceiling).
Choose a real or artificial tree: Decide whether you would like a real or artificial tree. Artificial trees are a far less strenuous and a more convenient choice. Without the need to find a real tree, trim the branches, and manage the upkeep of the tree, an artificial tree comes in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors with pre-lit branches that are easy to assemble. That said, real trees smell wonderful and make for a fun tradition with your family.
Ensure the quality: Whether you choose a real or artificial tree, it’s important to ensure you choose a high quality tree that lasts. If you choose to purchase a real tree, ensure that the tree is fresh with vibrant green needles that don’t fall off too easily. As for artificial trees, check the branches and foliage to determine if they are in good condition and do some research to see if other people liked the product (reviews are a great resource).
Choose the shape: Trees are available in many different shapes, such as pencil, cone, or full. Think about the design of your tree (such as, if you’re purchasing our White Christmas Crate, it looks great with a cone shaped tree), and consider which shape would compliment your decorations best.
Think about the lighting: Look at the lighting of the space you are placing the tree and determine the tone of the lights. Are your light bulbs warm or white toned? With this in mind, choose lights or a pre-lit tree that pair with those tones of lighting best. If you purchase a pre-lit tree, ensure the lights are energy efficient and good quality.
Determine your budget: Before you begin looking for a tree, it’s wise to consider how much you’d like to spend. Since Christmas tree vary so much in price, it’s important to decide how much you’d like to spend before you fall in love with a tree outside your budget.
